The test function conjecture for parahoric local models

Let GG be a reductive group over FF, let G\mathcal G be a parahoric group scheme, and let EE be the reflex field with maximal unramified subextension E0E_0. Let M{μ}M_{\{\mu\}} be the corresponding local model, M{μ},EM_{\{\mu\},E} its generic fibre, and set

dμ=dimM{μ},E.d_\mu=\dim M_{\{\mu\},E}.

Write RΨM{μ}(IC{μ})R\Psi_{M_{\{\mu\}}}(\operatorname{IC}_{\{\mu\}}) for the nearby-cycles complex, let ΦE\Phi_E denote geometric Frobenius, and let z{μ}ssz^{\rm ss}_{\{\mu\}} be the associated central Bernstein function. The semisimple Frobenius trace is viewed as an element of Z(G(E0),G(OE0))\mathcal Z(G(E_0),\mathcal G(\mathcal O_{E_0})).

Test function conjecture. As elements of Z(G(E0),G(OE0))\mathcal Z(G(E_0),\mathcal G(\mathcal O_{E_0})),

trss(ΦERΨM{μ}(IC{μ}))=(1)dμz{μ}ss.\operatorname{tr}^{\rm ss}\bigl(\Phi_E\mid R\Psi_{M_{\{\mu\}}}(\operatorname{IC}_{\{\mu\}})\bigr)=(-1)^{d_\mu}\cdot z^{\rm ss}_{\{\mu\}}.

This is the local-model formulation of the Test Function Conjecture for parahoric level, relating semisimple Frobenius traces on nearby cycles to central Bernstein functions. The supplied span does not state a resolution, so the conjecture is recorded as open.
